We loved this place so much, we went twice in 5 days. Great service, amazing food!!! They opened at 6pm and 26 monies later tables were packed. I can understand why. Definitely be returning here the next time we are in Merida.

**La Exquina 🌮🍴** La Exquina is a fantastic taco spot with a charming atmosphere and a focus on their stellar tacos. The setting is pleasant, but it’s the tacos that truly stand out. We tried the *pollo*, *chuleta*, and *chuleta con queso*, and each was seasoned to perfection with vibrant flavors. The portions are generous and perfect for sharing. 🌟 A special treat is the mini food truck at the corner, serving *marquesitas*—a crispy, crepe-like dessert that adds a unique and delightful twist to your meal. The restaurant allows you to buy these from the truck and enjoy them inside, which is a great touch. 🍬🚚 The service at La Exquina is friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience. For a more enjoyable meal, I recommend dining outside where you can soak up the atmosphere. 🌳 Overall, La Exquina offers delicious tacos and a great ambiance. It’s definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area! 🌮✨

This is the best Mexican food I have tried till now. The meat is grilled fragrant and tender. The broccoli and mashed potatoes were also very tasty. Wrapped in a wrap, all the dishes were juicy and delicious! The price is not expensive either.

Great atmosphere and delicious food! The cheese steak really hit the spot after eating Poc Chuc all week. Regardless, I still got the Poc Chuc tacos and some panuchos which were also great on their own.

Food was tasty and priced well, and service was great. We returned a few times during our stay in Merida, and were remembered by the staff. Great place to go for a quick casual dinner or just a couple beers and a snack.

Tacos, michelada, Paseo Montejo, and at great prices...look no further than La Exquina. Late night meals, enjoying the sights and sounds of Paseo Montejo, La Exquina is my go to taco joint in this part of town. English is spoken if needed and there is always a “soccer” match on one of the screens. If you find yourself strolling down Paseo Montejo and come across La Exquina, do yourself a favor and stop, order some tacos de cochinita and a michelada and enjoy.

Food was amazing. “Panuchos” were delicious. However, I have to say I was a little discomfort when the waiter never came back with my change. He kept 140mxn, not a lot, but he could have asked if he could keep the rest of change as tip. I would have probably said yes. Nevertheless, food is great. Must try.

Food was pretty good but I think the best part of this place is the atmosphere. Came back here 2x and both times we loved it.

Food was great. Service was awkward. Getting my ticket took forever, i finally walked to the register and just waited.

Excellent tacos at a good price. Watch the portions. They’re generous, I had an order of bisteck tacos, guacamole and queso fundido by myself, but could have easily shared with my wife (she wasn’t with me, but next time she will).

I went to visit my mom in Mexico and I found this restaurant! To be honest merida looks very expensive because of the tourist people! And I wasn’t mistaken. The restaurant nothing special! But the food 8 from 9. Tasty and fast! The service was 8 from 10! Environment not that perfect! There is several people going to put American music for you to see them sweating and without shirts dancing! Very loud and not pleasant. Definitely if I come back I will be eating again. Just one thing. The prices are little bit expensive for the quantity. But it’s fine I guess is a touristic trap! Be aware!

EDITED: I’ve been a regular at this restaurant since August 2024, and I’m updating my review as of March 1, 2025. This used to be my favorite Mexican restaurant, but unfortunately, their customer service has gone downhill. Lately, they’ve been slow to bring menus—sometimes you have to ask for them—and they often forget to bring the salsas that usually come with the meal. On our last visit, a different waiter (not our usual one) took our order. He didn’t ask what type of tortilla we preferred—corn or flour—and barely acknowledged us. When he brought our food, we noticed there was no salsa on the table, so we asked him for it. After waiting, we had to ask again before he finally brought it. He never checked in to see if we needed anything else—no follow-up for drinks, additional food, or even the bill. We had to get another waiter’s attention just to pay. When it came time to tip, he asked if we wanted to leave one, but given the terrible service, we declined. He was clearly upset, avoiding eye contact and practically throwing the receipt at us. His attitude was unprofessional and rude. While the food is still great, after receiving bad service three times in a row, we’ve decided not to return. It’s disappointing because this used to be my go-to spot for tacos. The atmosphere is nice, the servers used to be fast and efficient, the food was always served quickly, and the flavors were amazing at affordable prices. Plus, they’re pet-friendly. Unfortunately, good food isn’t enough to make up for poor service. I can’t recommend it anymore.
